...Walter Hagen, or Byron Nelson, or Ben Hogan, or Sam Snead, or Arnold Palmer - or any other American for that matter. The alltime champion is Roberto de Vicenzo, a balding, 44-year-old Argentine of Italian peasant stock who turned pro at 14 and posted his first victory three years later - shooting a 277 for 72 holes that still stands as the course record at the Rosario Golf Club...

Charging for his birdie, Palmer overstroked his first putt; it ran 7 ft. past the cup. Normally a coldly precise putter. Palmer lost his poise, missed his return, and ended the round with a 70. Next day Palmer again three-putted the 17th. and his score of 71 dropped him seven strokes behind De Vicenzo, five behind Australia's balding Kelvin Nagle. Tense and disgusted...
